we’ve moved!

okie, the gals have decided that we’ve enough of living on the dole and getting free blogspace from the fab people at wordpress.

hee, we’ve gotten our own home at LOVEKIMHYUNJOONG.com!

YAY! we’ve decided to take the plunge and commit (haha, how come it sounds as though we’re getting hitched or something….) and we’ve put money down to get our own little home! yea, our own space to drool over leader, our own space to dream about meeting leader, our own space to say and do whatever our str-shaped hearts desire…!

with immediate effect, we will NOT be updating this blog.

instead, we’ll be lounging around in our comfy PJs in our own home and be blogging from there! if you wanna drop by for a visit, our new address is LOVEKIMHYUNJOONG.com!


and oh, don’t come empty-handed, k? here’s our house site-warming wishlist:

- leader in a box tied up with a purple star-patterned ribbon!
- leader in a potato sack tied with a
turquoise star-patterned ribbon!
- leader with a pink star-patterned ribbon tied onto his smmmmexy body!
- oh well, if you can’t bring any of the above, then just come with chocolates, strawberries with whipped cream and champagne (moet chandon rosé preferred…)


fallen for a STR,
the gals

x’mas show pics updates

Finally some clearer pics from the X’mas party.
Thanks to kimhyunjoong cafe for these set of pics.
I wonder how they managed to do so but thanks to them else we won’t get to see what went on during the party.
Since I ain’t good with words, I’ll just do a simple update of the pics here. (^^ゞ

For a start, here’s the ballroom where most of them are seated and waiting for the show to start.. (how I wished I was there… T_T)

Following up is our dear str in the grey suit that bb has mentioned in the earlier post.

Next up, wondering what’s our boy is doing? ^^

He’s actually recording a message into the card. Lucky japanese fans to get the card!! In the following one, Kyu Jong is actually listening to his own message.

After the 1st part of the show ended, the boys went and changed into white suits and went around each table to light up the candles.

I wonder which hair style leader be having for this coming saturday recording. The all styled up kind or this all put down, good lil boy kind?^^

this article came out a few days ago, but i was not in the mood to do any translation. haven’t seen any english version of this so far; will just do a quick translation of this since i’ve abit of time now.

hmmm… seems like other than SEO TAIJI, leader also listens to and likes quite a few other artistes!

Kim Hyun Joong Wishes to Share Artistes & Songs He Likes

Kim Hyun Joong chose Remembrance by Turbo as a classic by Korean idols, and he added that it is a pity that students these days do not even know who Turbo is.

In the segment ‘Best Idol Classics As Chosen by SS501′ of Golden Fishery aired on the 16th, Kim Hyun Joong chose Remembrance by Turbo as the third, Comeback by Sechskies (or 6kies) as the second, and To My Mother by G.O.D as the first.

In particular, Kim Hyun Joong mentioned that “The young people don’t even know H.O.T and Turbo,” and explained that he would like to share with everyone the songs of artistes whom he likes.


hands up, those of you who have never heard of these artistes or songs that leader was talking about?!

hehe, my hand was the first to shoot up! i’ve only heard of G.O.D (haiyo, i’m referring to the mortal and earthly ones lah…) and never heard any of the three songs he’s mentioned. then again, i hardly listen to kpop, yea, the use of present tense was deliberate since i still can’t say i do now, hehe!

okie, lesson time! i’ll start with the first, then second, followed by the third place, k?


SECHKIES or 6kies have six members. this all-boy group made their debut back in 1997. one unusual thing about sechkies is that the group was divided into two sets of three members, the Black Kies and the White Kies. The Black Kies mostly did the rapping and the White Kies would do the vocals. coincidentally, the Black Kies were the three older members of the band, while White Kies were the younger members. and oh, understand that sechkies was sorta H.O.T‘s biggest rival back in the late 1990s.

HERE’s the song that leader recommended, Comeback.

here’s a clip of them performing live at the Digital Concert in 1999 at the Seoul Olympic Stadium



moving on to G.O.D. now this one i’ve heard of, but never heard, if you know what i mean… they’re supposed to be pretty big, like maybe as big as shinhwa…? don’t kill me if that’s not accurate, ya? i’ve already said i don’t know much about korean pop music, but i do know that together with shinhwa, G.O.D is included in the top 10 groups of recent pop history.

they have lots of great hits apparently, but the one that leader has chosen is a very meaningful one. To My Mother has a great MV too! i’ve found one with english subs, enjoy…

G.O.D To My Mother MV [Eng Sub]

wanna watch G.O.D live? here’s the group performing for a charity in 2003.

seems like the new generation boyband 2PM also performed this song with one of the original G.O.D members, son ho young on a variety program on 2008.10.23. again, this one’s also with subs.



moving on to the third song, Remembrance 회상 by TURBO. now this song is translated into 回想 in chinese. as for english, i’ve found different versions, some have referred to the song as Reminiscence, some as Remembrance or Recollection. anyway, they all mean roughly the same thing, i.e. thinking back or recalling, you know what i mean, ya?

now this one’s a surprise to me. those of you who watch korean variety shows would have seen KIM JONG KOOK on many of them, and if you’re an x-man fan, then there’s no way you’ve not heard about the ‘peculiar vibes’ from yoon eun hye and this guy. in fact, i’ve given you the link to THEIR SO-CALLED SCANDAL when i was blogging about the BASIC HOUSE ENDORSEMENT DEAL.

and if you don’t watch x-men and stuff, but find him awfully familiar, that’s probably because you had seen him appear in FAMILY OUTING together with leader. yea, he’s the one with the bodybuilder physique.

click HERE to listen to the song.

here’s the MV for Reminiscence (회상) by Turbo (터보), 1997

and this one’s of kim jong kook doing the song solo on the love letter program on 2004.06.25.

this one’s Turbo performing Reminiscence and one other song, Goodbye Yesterday.  this is from 2005.11.25.

nope, i’m still not done yet, hehe!

haiyo, if you’ve been coming here for awhile, don’t you know by now that i hardly ever do short-short posts? therefore i’ve said before that our blog here is more suited to a certain category of fans, the category that’s abit more intellectual and ‘textual’, in that you actually enjoy reading and reading and reading (well, you get the idea…)

this version is from 2006, and it’s got kim jong kook with the ‘new other half’ of the Turbo duo doing the song pretty nicely on the x-man show!

nope, still not done, haha! this version doesn’t even have Turbo in it. it’s of ERU (이루) and Mc Mong doing a cover of the song, and that’s on 2006.12.22.

speaking of ERU… does the name ring a bell? if you’re a leader fan, then it should ring a bell.in fact, the bell should ring many, many times, hee!

after all, the princess believes leader has only done an MV for others ONCE, and that ONCE was for ERU! remember Black Glasses? if you say you’ve no idea what i’m talking about at all, then please stand up right now and give your perky(?) little(?) bottom a light smack, k?

shame on you leh…. call yourself a leader fan, chey…

anyway, Black Glasses was the first single of ERU’s second album, and leader was the male lead in the rather moving story of the MV. found you one with english subs.

nice? want to keep it for your own enjoyment at any time? click HERE for the megaupload link.

now you know why i was so insistent on posting so many bloody versions of that last song? i just needed to link all the different versions so that i could post ERU’s version, and then blog about Black Glasses and post leader’s clip.  talk about beating around the bush, haha!

and… now that i’ve posted the MV, wanna share just one more clip with you before i go… did you know leader actually made an appearance with ERU on-stage to perform the song? yea, that was on 2006.12.16, leader was on-stage with ERU and Bae Seul Gi to perform Black Glasses.

now if you would say Thank You for all my trouble to go dig out all the links and stuff, the princess would be very happy and will make sure she works just as hard in future, hehe!



[ADDED @4:38am] oopsies! the princess totally forgot about the MV leader did together with kyu for 2Shai’s She Laughed… guess i’ve always thought of that one more as a funny skit, hee… thanks for reminding me about it, f09!




My Heart is a STR,
bb ♥

monday blues…

not a good monday for quite a few of you, i know… seems like it’s a done deal, the date-change for PERSONA BKK. both LIEZLE and CAGALIKIRA have blogged about it. go read the details there, k?

for those of you going, good luck and have fun!  should be a great one, you can celebrate valentine’s day, you know?!  bring all things pink and heart-shaped…!! for those of you who have your plans all messed up by the date-change, my heart goes out to you.   but hey, PERSONA ENCORE in seoul, maybe?

anyway, shan’t say much, but seems like there could be more surprises heading our way. good news? bad news? well, it’s all a matter of perspective, i guess. my perspective?  hmmm… don’t think it’s good news if it does materialise.  anyway, whatever will come will come.

and… here’s a belated pic and a clip of leader touching down at gimpo airport from japan on sunday. he’s all decked out in black, just like when he was flying into japan.

leader looks so cute in the clip! DSP president and the rest of the boys had already cleared immigration and were all walking out, when leader just strolled out nonchalantly with a carrier… then it suddenly dawned on him that he’s alone, and that the rest were all ahead of him, and he suddenly broke into a run, seemingly to catch up with them.

the black ball-thingy on his beanie was bopping up and down as he was hurrying along, sooooo… adorably cute!

wanna download the clip and watch it over and over again? HERE’s the RaySource file.

meanwhile, will leave you with some neat GIFs done by fans. the first one’s of leader catching bubbles(!) at PERSONA HK.

the next three are of leader doing RAINISM at the DK wine party event.




My Heart is a STR,
bb ♥
